We like to keep a check on the growth, development and health of your babies and young children. Appointments can be made with the doctor during normal surgery hours for development checks of general concerns.

We actively encourage a full immunisation programme for every child in the practice. Appointments can be made to see the nurse during normal treatment room hours.

Antenatal Care

There is a midwife run antenatal clinic every Wednesday within the surgery and the option for booking appointments at home. If this is not convenient or appointments are unavailable, then our midwife is happy to see patients at the Birth centre in Chipping Norton, which is open every day of the year and offers some evening and weekend appointments.

The doctors also see antenatal patients. Please ask at reception for details.

Parentcraft Classes

These are in the evenings for expectant parents and are run by the Health Visitors and Midwives. For more information please contact the Health Visitors on 01993 811944

Please phone for your results after 10.30am

Travel Vaccinations

Travel has become relatively cheap and many of us are going to far away destinations for work as well as pleasure. Some of these destinations have disease and illnesses rarely seen in the United Kingdom. When planning a trip abroad we would advise you to make an appointment in our Travel Clinic to discuss the hazards you may encounter and what you can do to prevent illness and disease affecting you.

Our Travel Clinic operates on a Wednesday afternoon and alternate Monday afternoons and is very popular. You can book a first appointment by telephoning reception on 01993 811452. The first appointment is likely to take approximately 20 minutes, although this may vary depending on your destination. The nurse will help you book follow up appointments timed to your vaccination schedule.

Immunisations for travel abroad are not covered by the NHS and you will be asked to pay for the vaccines you decide to have. Listed below are the Surgery's current fees.

Other vaccines are available and the practice nurse will give you full details on request.

A course of vaccines may take a while to complete so book your appointment as soon as you can before you are due to depart.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below:
